Grief happens when we experience a sense of loss, beyond just death: loss of health, relationship, normality, freedom, status, position, job, power, basically anything that you have, you can lose.
When you choose to transform yourself, you will go through a grieving phase, for whatever it is you choose to part ways with, including your old self.
We, Go-getters, are driven individuals who really wish to make a positive dent in the world and also in our lives. Yet, grief is a topic that is often a blind spot for us.
“I don’t have time to grief”; “I must be strong for my family”; “Suck it up and move on”; “Feeling takes so much energy and time”; “I hate crying”; “I can’t be sad when I am still here”; are just some self-talk we have when facing grief.
All of you reading this deserve to have the life that you desire and to grow in the way that you wish.
For that, get to know grief and integrate that into your life. It will un-stuck you, your life and your loved ones.
This episode is my conversation with Karin Hagelin on what grief is, how this shows up in your life, what the costs are when you’re not facing it, how to do it and how to support others in grief.
She is a Life Crisis Coach based in Zurich, Switzerland, who helps people from many countries manage grief, loss and trauma; get relief from stress and anxiety; release unhealthy patterns of thought and behaviour; and heal relationships.

Go-Getters, pay attention!!!
Do you know that shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change?
This is one of the lessons I learnt from Dr. Brené Brown’s study about living life courageously.
You are driven to achieve and you love to grow. You also want to remain grounded, contented and energized in the process.
For that, join my conversation in my newest podcast episode with Nena Martinez, a “Daring Way” Consultant, where we are demystifying what shame is, what breeds shame, what will happen when we’re not transmuting shame and also some tools on how to do that. We also discuss how this impacts the way we parent.

As Go-getters, it is important for us to sustainably growing and contributing, which means, to grow and contribute feeling healthy and fulfilled in the journey, over a long period of time.
Not only it is important for us as individuals, it is equally important for the people around us, especially to the ones that we lead or manage. You can only lead deeply through showing others what you want them to do.
Being YOU while doing so, being authentic as who you truly are, is a foundation for being a good leader.
Having experienced a burnout at the end of 2008, I learnt the hard way that vulnerability is not a weakness. In fact, it is the very thing that helps me to become a better leader and a more fulfilled person.
How so?
Join me in the 2nd part of the deep dive conversation I had with Nena Martinez about vulnerability in the workplace. We discussed real examples on how to integrate it in becoming the next version of ourselves as a leader.
Nena Martinez is the first Latin America’s Certified Daring Way Facilitator Case Consultant and a Public Speaker. She trained with Dr. Brené Brown to help herself and others understand their shame triggers, the power of being vulnerable, and living a compassionate and courageous life. She facilitates workshops, consultations, and individual sessions where she explores themes like vulnerability, courage, compassion, shame, values, conscious parenting etc.
She created "Setratadenosotros" in order to share information that she finds inspiring and helpful in her personal life.
Enjoy!

As Go-getters, we push through, growing and achieving.
In the process, It is not uncommon for us to feel…inadequate sometimes.
We’ve achieved and grown so much but we still feel frustrated, depleted, lost, empty…inadequate.
For many of us, facing such feelings make us put even more actions and efforts. When we’re not careful, at some point we land in a place called burn out.
I firmly believe there is a strong correlation between vulnerability and burnout.
This is why this episode comes out.
It is the first out of 2 parts deep dive with Nena Martinez about vulnerability and how it helps us to overcome a sense of inadequacy. The next episode is how vulnerability helps us to become better leaders.
I wish for all of us to understand what vulnerability is (and is NOT), its purpose in our lives and how to integrate it into our lives, so we can achieve and grow MORE feeling FULFILLED.

Go-getters!!!
This is for you!
Join me and my mentor, Rachelle Furer, in a deep extensive reflection about the possible reasons and context why we often feel inadequate, depleted, frustrated, and dissatisfied after we do so much and give so much in life.
I question this profoundly because I know that many of us, Go-getters, have the best of intentions.
In this reflection, Rachelle is bringing us on a journey to understand the various shifts and changes in the world and how these impact us on daily basis, making us feeling lost or confused easily. She also shares some key important questions to help us come out from the funk!
Rachelle has spent her life searching for ways to help others move along their paths with greater ease. This exploration has encompassed delving into psychology, philosophy, systemic thinking, spiritual practices, metaphysics, a plethora of alternative therapies along with the more practical and pragmatic pursuit of counselling, coaching, facilitation and teaching. With more than 40 years of professional experience and clients from around the world, she has now semi-retired to Switzerland. Nevertheless, Personal and leadership development remains her passion.
Now, find a comfortable spot on your couch with you cup of tea or coffee, switch off your phone, and breathe as you join us in this conversation!
Happy reflecting!

Do you know that you started to form your beliefs about yourself, others and life when you were in your mother’s womb?
Do you know that being born is often a traumatic journey for the baby as well as for the parents on the other side?
Do you know that how you show up in your life today as an ADULT is mostly driven by your unconscious beliefs?
Our birth process impacts us all. We formed many beliefs during this period of our life.
The key to change our lives for the better is to change our unconscious beliefs into uplifting ones.
This episode is a lively conversation with Sharon King, the creator of Matrix Birth Reimprinting, a subconscious mind healing method to heal traumas caused by the birth process.

This is part 2 of 2 episodes sharing insights from Jehan de Soyza, a monk turned Eye Surgeon from Australia.
As a part of his intentional life, Jehan lived and worked as a Monk for 9 years in multiple continents before becoming an Eye Surgeon.
He didn't set out to be one from the get-go. He was a Business student. In fact, that's how we first met in 1995.
After sharing why and how he became a Monk in the previous episode, this one is about what he learnt from it, especially about meditation, success, personal growth and happiness. He shares how he continues to integrate them into his life today as a husband, a father, and a surgeon.
Enjoy and be inspired!

What I find to be VERY helpful in moving through life following my calling is to be connected with people who are in their journeys moving through theirs.
The reflections we share fuel our journeys.
This is the first out of 2 episodes.
I sat together with Jehan de Soyza, an Eye Surgeon Trainee in Royal Perth Hospital Australia.
As a part of his intentional life, Jehan lived and worked as a Monk for 9 years in multiple continents. He didn't set out to be one from the get-go. He was a Business student. In fact, that's how we first met in 1995.
This episode about why he chose to serve as a monk, the journey to become one, and what his ascetic life then was like (Mind you, I’m super curious to hear details about it. Aren’t you?). He also shares what he’s learnt meditation, success, personal growth and happiness.
Enjoy and be inspired!

BREATHE…
I heard my therapist repeating this to me as I received her help to rise back from the burnout I experienced at the end of 2008.
BREATHE…
While I followed what she asked me, I was puzzled. I didn’t understand at all the context of why she asked me to "breathe" when I was obviously breathing.
I did, however, develop a “new” habit since then: to remember to consciously breathing regularly everyday. I still keep it until now. I can’t speak highly enough how conscious breathing habit changed my life.
In this episode, I invite Michelle Sabatini to share with us in-depth what #consciousbreathing is, what it does to us, especially in helping us to un-stuck ourselves from any situation anywhere, and how to do it.
Enjoy!
